SAD SALE OF MY RARE 12′ WOODEN GENTLEMANS CRUISER STYLE MOTOR BOAT WITH EVEINRUDE 35HP OUTBOARD.
THE BOAT WAS PREFESSIONALLY HAND BUILT BY A BOATYARD IN BRIGHTLINGSEA,
ESSEX, FOLLOWING A VERY SIMILAR DESIGN TO THE ORIGINAL BROOM SPEEDBOATS. IT WAS
BUILT AS A RETIREMENT TOY BY ONE OF THE BOAT BUILDERS, WHO SADLY PASSED AWAY
BEFORE ENJOYING IT TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL. PREVIOUS OWNER PURCHASED IT FROM HIS
ESTATE AND REMOVED THE OUTBOARD AND STEERING FOR USE ON ANOTHER BOAT, LEAVING
THIS SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENTS.
I BOUGHT IT WITH THE ITENTION OF PUTTING A NEW ENGINE (ELECTRIC LONG TERM) AND
STEERING ON IT. REMOVING THE MODERN 4 SEATS AND REPLACING WITH CLASSIC STYLE
BENCH SEATING. ADDING A CANOPY AND MAKING IT MUCH MORE OF A TRADITIONAL LOOKING
CRAFT.
I WAS GOING TO GET THIS BACK ON THE WATER LAST YEAR BUT NEVER GOT THE
TIME. TIME NOW TO BE REALISTIC AND ADMIT THAT I WILL NOT
GET THE TIME THIS YEAR EITHER.
HULL IS EXCELLENT AND NEEDS FOR NOTHING AS THE PAINT ETC IS PERFECT, THE
WOODED POLISHED TOP NEEDS STRIPPING BACK AND RE-POLISHING BUT IS SOUND. INSIDE
THERE ARE 4 INDIVIDUAL SEATS IN EXELLENT CONDITION (THAT ALL FOLD FLAT) WHICH
ARE EASILY WOTH £250 ALONE. IT HAS A 15FT SNIPE ROLLER TRAILER THAT IS IN
EXCELLENT CONDITION AND TOWS REALLY SMOOTHLY AND IS WORTH £750
BUILT TO TAKE ANYTHING UP TO A 45HP MOTOR I WAS GOING TO FIT THE 35HP EVINRUDE INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
SIMPLY ADD THE OUTBOARD AND CONTROLS AND A TELEFLEX STEERING SYSTEM (ABOUT £100-£150 BRAND NEW)
AND AWAY YOU GO.
THE EVINRUDE I HAVE NOT HAD RUNNING YET, I HAVE CHANGED IN IMPELLOR, CLEANED OUT THE CARBS, JUST NOT HAD IT IN THE WATER OR PUT ANY FUEL IN IT TO FIRE IT UP, DONT SEE WHY IT WONT START, FUEL TANK INCLUDED
BOAT IS IN STORAGE SO NO RUSH TO SELL, NO SILLY OFFERS PLEASE
COLLECTION FROM EMSWORTH PO10
CASH ON COLLECTION PREFERED.
ANY INSPECTION WELCOME.
Current Price: £500.00
